Kriegspredigten aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg sind ein Forschungsfeld, das wenig bearbeitet wurde. Der Sammelband leistet einen Beitrag dazu, diese Forschungslücke zu füllen und untersucht Predigten und ebenso Lieder der Jahre 1914 bis 1918 in historischer und theologischer Perspektive. Evangelische Predigten des Elsass rücken in den Forschungsfokus, der durch die Einbeziehung von Kriegspredigten aus Deutschland sowie aus dem katholischen und dem anglikanischen Bereich ergänzt wird. Kriegspredigten wurden nicht nur an der Front, sondern auch in der Heimat gehalten. Dabei lassen sich länder- und konfessionsübergreifende Ähnlichkeiten in Theologie und Diktion aufzeigen, während Unterschiede vor allem im Bereich der Geschichtsdeutung und der Verhandlung konfessionsspezifischer Themen zu erkennen sind. Allen Kriegspredigten ist zudem gemeinsam, dass sie mehrere Funktionen erfüllten: Sie dienten der Sinnstiftung in schweren Zeiten, der Legitimierung des Krieges und der Propagierung politischer Interessen, die von kirchlicher Seite aus unterstützt wurden.

This book examines the latest developments of the European Union’s energy policy and particularly the way security of energy supply is taken into account and handled. As one of the three objectives of the EU energy policy, security of supply emerged as a central element of the policy after the January 2009 gas crisis, and now with the consequences of the events in Fukushima. The contributions to the book are made by the most informed people on the various subjects given their professional position. It analyses the extensive developments of the concept toward energy security, the impact of the third internal market package on its reinforcement and the major role to be played by infrastructures in ensuring physically the security of supply. The book comments on the most recent and relevant instruments adopted by the European Union; in the field of oil, the so-called Oil stocks directive; and gas, the Regulation on Security of Gas Supply. In the field of electricity, it will report on the experience of the Transmission System Operators working together in the European Network (ENTSO-E) to guarantee security of supply. The external dimension of the EU energy policy will be explained in as far as it aims at security of supply. Three illustrative cases are particularly studied: the Southern gas corridor development, the January 2009 gas crisis, and the Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan. The relevant EU legislative texts and the recent communications of the Commission on the subject are appended, to offer the direct references of what is discussed in the various sections.

Serious interest in the evolution and dynamics of intermediate societies has grown by leaps and bounds during the past decade. The purpose of this volume is to suggest new ways to model the many stimuli and processes by which cultural complexity emerges, emphasizing major organizational changes, not the appearance and disappearance of specific traits. All contributors share the view that it is time to fundamentally reconsider a variety of ideas about the emergence of complex organization. Their chapters present data from a broad range of case studies, including the Northwest Coast and British Columbia Plateau, California, the Plains, the Mississippian Southeast, the American Southwest, Spain, and Northern Europe.
